relatedcourses are in the filed of robotics, construction management, and nanotechnology. Most of thesecourses require students to complete a project. While undergraduate research is emphasized toreplace or complement capstone project course such as EGT-417, course projects serve well inexposing students to innovative, developmental work that can benefit them in future practicalapplications. The outreach programs that target young high school students as well as adultlearners can also benefit from hands-on projects that combine innovation, creativity andanalytical skills. It is desirable to incorporate new ideas, innovative schemes and application-based learning into manageable projects that can be carried out by students on different levels
